Chapter 01



Dalton’s atomic theory
  • all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atom
  • atoms of the same element are identical, those of different atoms are different

Neil Bohr model of the atom
  • the electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed circular paths known as the orbits
  • they travel indefinitely within an energy level without loosing energy
  • every orbit has an exact energy
  • the orbits further away from the nucleus have higher energy
  • electrons in lower orbit absorb energy and move to a higher orbit, these are known as excited electrons
  • excited state electrons can come to the ground state by releasing the extra energy that they possess

Werner Heisenberg’s Wave Mechanical model of the atom
  • based on Uncertainty principle or probability of locating an electron
  • leads to the notion of orbitals
  • the different orbitals are s, p, d, and f
  • every electron has a quantum address by which it can be identified, known as quantum number
  • there are 4 quantum numbers in total: n, l, m, and s
